Computer History Museum Recovers 2,000+ Retro Computing Artifacts from Germany

The Computer History Museum (CHM) has recovered over 2,000 historical computing artifacts from an abandoned warehouse in Germany. The collection, spanning from the 1930s to the 1980s, includes a vast array of media types, mainframes, minicomputers, and peripherals. The recovery effort, which required seven tractor-trailers, was briefly halted by the discovery of an unexploded WWII bomb nearby. This significant acquisition has led the CHM to expand its facilities to house the new collection, now part of 'The SAP Collection'. AI
